The One of Hearts 

Ecstatic Writers and Poet-Saints
This showed at the Kimo theater in Alb.NM with live sacred music and a Sufi Dancing, June 6th,2012
It will show in Sante Fe Sept 8th. You can see the trailer on website The 1 of Hearts.  I had the honor of being an actor in this beautiful film project. The process was such a pleasure. The locations, and working with Jan, the director. We went out several times so he could capture the landscape in just the right weather and light. His direction was clear and his vision solid.
 I have seen it and it is glorious, visually spectacular and the poetry read so well. I  love the Native American writers included in this.

How does this relate to yoga? For me the ecstatic poetry of Hafiz and Rumi, and many spiritual writers are continuous and beautiful reminders of the places of bliss attainable through yoga and meditation.  I often read poetry in my yoga classes  for the same reason. Yoga has also improved my acting skills of embodiment and movement through space and dance.
This is a still shot from film- 
was such an amazing day -mist drifting along -
